Launched at the end of January, the online government clip, which is meant to counter jihadist propaganda on social media, has received nearly 1 million views on YouTube and Dailymotion. According to The Parisien, including Twitter and Facebook, the video has garnered more than 1.9 million views. This is a success for the campaign, which uses the hashtag #Stopdjihadisme.
“The idea is to provide a counter-discourse that corrects sectarianism and provides correct information,” explained Minister of the Interior Bernard Cazeneuve. Almost 80 French jihadists have been killed during terrorist operations in Syria and Iraq, and close to 1,400 have been identified as having links to these networks.
